Exterior Home or Structure Painting or Staining Service
Great experience working with Ryan and his team. He carefully reviewed the job with us, provided us with an informational packet, and gave us a clear understanding of the materials and how the paint would be applied. The workmanship was perfect and completed on time. We were impressed by the fact that although he was not with his team each day, he regularly showed up to check the progress of the work. The painters were polite, friendly, and meticulous!
So nice to have an stress-free experience!

Two years ago we hired Southern Painting to paint the kitchen, dining and living rooms and hallways interior of our son’s condo. His crew did a professional and high-quality job ahead of schedule. Needless condo to say when we needed to get our own condo painted, we contacted Southern Painting.
When it came to pricing, Southern Painting offered the best value after I made sure all quotes were comparable. Additionally, Ryan was the only one to offer two coats of the base color for a minimal charge, whereas others only provided one. Ryan was incredibly professional, and the team that painted my home, led by Edward, was outstanding. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work Edward and his team did. Ryan’s focus on ensuring I was completely happy with the result made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful we again chose Southern Painting and would highly recommend them without hesitation. The work was done ahead of schedule and Ryan checked in several times during the process.

Ryan and his team if painters came in to clean another painting companies job. He was upfront with the work he was going to be able to accomplish with flaws that were in place by the builder and most importantly by the first company that was hired for the job. His team is very respectful and made a lousy job presentable and to our liking. Look no further than this company!

If looking for honest company straightforward with prices it's Southern Painting. Professional in every aspect of the job. Affordable prices and concerned with customer satisfaction. The men that painted our home were excellent. Miguel is pleasant to work with and guided us in selecting colors. We are very happy with Southern Painting. You will be too.

We just had the exterior of our house painted and it was an exceptionally fine job. All of the steps involved, from power washing to caulking to sealing to painting were completed exactly as Ryan specified. The crew arrived promptly as scheduled and were highly organized, efficient and, above all, professional. When the job was completed, they left our house neat and clean. I highly recommend Southern Painting to anyone seeking a house painting contractor. They delivered as promised and we were completely satisfied. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. You won't be sorry.

A team of 5 painted the entire interior of our condo (1500+ sq') in half the time expected. And they did a great job. Cleaned up at the end of the first day so we could function that evening. They protected all areas not being painted. Then it only took them half of the following day to finish up. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing a painter.

We hired Southern Painting to paint the interior of our Siesta Key Condo and could not be happier with the work performed, They were on time, worked quickly and efficiently. Finished ahead of schedule, The work was superb. Ryan even went out of his way to find a paint color that was no longer available. Would highly recommend.

Ryan was very professional and kept all appointments and commitments he made. I liked the fact that you as a consumer can verify their insurance and license. The package he presented was very helpful to understand all that you need to know. I will recommend Ryan to my neighbors and friends.

The whole experience went very well. The painters arrived on time. They coordinated with me on the order in which the doors would be done to facilitate use of bathrooms and the locking away of two cats during the painting. They did an excellent job. We hired Ryan because he came with a whole folder of information about himself and his company. The information talked about things one should ask before hiring a painter and he even included a copy of his liability insurance, which is so important here in FL. We will call Ryan again when it is time to paint our house.

5+ Room Interior Painting or Staining
The original quote was for a single coat of paint, which I thought would be adequate since the walls were white to begin with. When the first coat was done though, it was evident that a second coat was required for additional cost. I wish I had known up front that 2 coats were most likely needed so that I could have fairly compared competitive bids.
